Located just off Hurontario and Eglinton Ave W is a seemingly small but bustling restaurant with unique dishes with flavors from around the world.
The Wilcox Gastropub is a one of a kind hybrid of a pub and restaurant, located inside a distinctive aged building that sets the tone for your entire experience.
I am frequent visitor of The Wilcox in the summer. They offer the best of snacks, small plates and drinks to really enjoy a warm summer evening with friends. With the current ongoing of Covid-19 and the Pandemic, I took advantage of Mississauga finally being open for outdoor Patio dining to enjoy my usual favorites.
We ordered the Duck Chaufa, Bone Marrow with Steak Tartare, and a couple of Wilcox Mule cocktails and a few Old Fashioned’s. The Bone Marrow with Steak Tartare is my ABSOLUTE favorite and I can’t stress it enough. It’s paired with freshly made sourdough bread, which has a perfect texture for scooping up the mouth-water fat in the bone marrow and pairing with the steak tartare. It’s seasoned perfectly, with the right amount of kick to give it the perfect taste on every bite. I also very much enjoyed the Duck Chaufa, with the thick pieces of bacon garnished throughout the rice and topped with a runny poached egg. Again, The Wilcox knows how to perfectly season their food, so every bite was delicious and elevated.
Once the restrictions are lighter, I would highly recommend dining-in at this establishment, as their unique building offers beautiful lighting in their almost ‘green-house’ like dining area. They really know how to make a meal, or even just a couple of small dishes, truly a classy experience.
